Relative Heap Efficiency of the OpenCV Framework in the Dalvik Virtual Machine and the Java Virtual Machine

The OpenCV framework is an open source project released under the BSD license that provides libraries for image manipulation and computer vision. It has been ported to numerous platforms, though for the purpose of this report only the Java and Android platforms will be referenced. This report compares the heap allocation efficiency of the two different platforms, highlighting the potential fundamental differences in the Java Virtual Machine and the Dalvik Virtual Machine.
